  Mimulus aurantiacus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mimulus aurantiacus, the Bush Monkey Flower or Sticky Monkey Flower, is a flowering plant that grows in a subshrub form, native to southwestern North America from southwestern Oregon south through most of California.
It is treated by some botanists in a separate genus from other Mimulus as Diplacus aurantiacus (Curtis) Jeps.
It grows to between 0.5-1.2 m tall, and has deep green sticky leaves 3-7 cm long and 5-10 mm broad, and flowering stems that grow vertically.

 Ecology: Bumble Bee Selection Of Mimulus Guttatus Flowers: The Effects Of Pollen Quality And Reward Depletion
Californian populations of Mimulus guttatus are polymorphic for pollen quality: many plants produce a high proportion of cytoplasmless pollen grains that render the grains incapable of fertilizing ovules or of supporting bees nutritionally.
A possible explanation for this inconsistency was suggested in a greenhouse trial in which we showed that, when foraging density was high, depletion of the standing crop of pollen happened quickly, and this reduced the ability of the foragers to choose the hi gher-quality genotypes.
Mimulus gutattus is a hydrophilic annual or short-lived perennial, native to western North America, though it has become naturalized in many temperate areas worldwide.
